After an interesting two-hour flight (during which I met a nice Australian father-daughter couple who you'll see in a later picture), we arrived at the Pyongyang Sunan International Airport.

The facility is small but well-lighted. It's a temporary location, which the main terminal is being refurbished.

C'est un peu cliché les larges avenues vides, mais il y en a. A côté, il y a quand même pas mal de circulation à Pyongyang.

An army of miniature uber-athletes. Scary!

My first visit to one of the overseas North Korean restaurants. They put on a nice show but no photos allowed of course. There were mostly large groups of South Korean tourists eating here.

Home to angry-looking chinese dudes. Not home to poorly-dressed people like us...

Might look a little more impressive if there were cars and people on the roads!

Here, one of our North Korean tour guides (I never got his name - he was on the other bus) is telling them how to fight for the VCD of our tour.

FILE - In this June 14, 2000 file photo, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, right, and South Korean President Kim Dae-jung raise their arms together before signing a joint declaration at the end of the second day of a three-day summit in Pyongyang. In a breakthrough at the historic summit, the two signed an agreement aimed at easing half a century of conflict on the heavily armed Korean Peninsula and working toward its eventual reunification. Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader whose iron rule and nuclear ambitions dominated world security fears for more than a decade, has died. His death was announced Monday, Dec. 19, 2011 by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. He was 69. (AP Photo/Yonhap, Pool, File) KOREA OUT
